Request for public discussion and ballot to add rules on paratypes to the SeqCode and amend recommendations on name formation The “Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes Described from Sequence Data” (the SeqCode) was conceived and introduced to address the need to validly publish na

SeqCode recognizes strains and their value for experimental work. However, type material in #SeqCode consists of genome sequence that unambiguously defines a species. The request suggests using strains as paratypes of genomic type material.

The justification must be solid, and consulting the broader stakeholder community, those who actually work with the microbe, is essential as these changes directly impact their work 🧬🔬

@isme-microbes.bsky.social offers a great opportunity to publish uncultured microbes via #SeqCode using #genomes as type material. A fantastic step toward embracing the true diversity of microbes! But isolates are also welcome 🧫🔬🦠😁

🎉 The #SeqCode has reached a significant milestone: with the validation of the genus Skiveiella, a total of 1,000 #names have now been validly published under the SeqCode.

This achievement marks a major step forward in the adoption and impact of the SeqCode within the scientific community.

Taxonomic and metabolic diversity of microbial communities in a thermal water stream in Uzbekistan and proposal of two new classes of uncultivated bacteria, Desulfocorpusculia class. nov. and Tepidiha... Thermal ecosystems in Uzbekistan remain poorly characterized, particularly through culture-independent approaches. In this study, we performed 16S rRN…

But, there is obviously a controversy brewing when it comes to authors publishing names under the ICNP that are in conflict with #SeqCode validated names. This is possible since the ICSP does not (yet) recognize SeqCode names. Hopefully that will change soon.

Not so fast 😊 , #Patescibacteriota is a validly published phylum name under the #SeqCode and is here to stay ;-)

A 6-month discussion on the revision of the #ICNP is underway, including #Section_10 to regulate the #Candidatus names. Pro-statuses will be added to the names with various nomenclature types 🤔.

"MIRRI-ERIC fully supports the importance of maintaining physical type strains as NTs, while also recommending genome sequence data that meet SeqCode's quality standards as additional NTs." 👏

Originally defined by Rinke et al. (2013) as Candidatus Patescibacteria, the phylum #Patescibacteriota now has a validly published name and an official type!

This new name originates from its type genus, which is named after Sun Yat-Sen University (SYSU) in China.

Since 2022, the SeqCode Registry has enabled the valid publication of 700+ names, providing nomenclatural stability and recognition for prokaryotes described without pure cultures. We’re a small but growing community advancing the use of genomic data in naming microorganisms.
